Are there any other crufty Fortran candidates you can do without? No. I haven't found any other programs. > If no-one disagrees with this, I'll move them both to ports (probably in a > combined fortran-utils port) in a couple of days.

I haven't looked at fpr, but you can get fancy program listings with a2ps (and probably apsfilter) which is (are) already in the ports collections. I say kill them (of course asbestos under garments might be needed). It should be noted that cvs will maintain a copy of both in the attic, so anyone who wants the source can get it. -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
